This balisong measures in at 9 3/16″, a little shorter than the most popular balisong among flippers today. The handles are sandwich construction and screwed together, but the screws are fixed and have had their heads ground off. No worries about the screws backing out on these: a very nice touch. This does mean you can’t adjust the tension after heavy use, but these balisongs have proven to be very durable and have been extensively tested by my buyers.

Check out one of the balisongs in action below! The owner flipped his balisong extensively for a year, and his use (abuse) included repeated drops while practicing aerials.

The hollowground blade and the handles are 420 stainless steel. This is one of the newest models from this outfit. The blade features two extra thick tang pins and locks up rock solid in both the open and closed positions, and there is an integral guard on it too. Please note that the blade is partially serrated.

The handles are beautifully polished and skeletonized for better grip and weight reduction.

You can see the pivot assembly here. The bearings are encased within.

The spring latch on these has been proven to work and hold up quite well, although the spring isn’t as strong as on the $300+ balis out there. Then again, most of the $300 balis don’t have bearings!
